The factor ‘similarity’ is important in multiple ways in
interpersonal relations and can be relevant to globalization, the
study of similarities among Judaism Christianity and Islam, if
exist, can help to facilitate globalization. To study such
similarities a questionnaire based on the similarities mentioned in
Torah (Jews) Gospel (Christians) and Quran (Muslims) was
prepared and disseminated to the similar groups belonging to all
the three faiths and after commuting the scores on similar choices
the scores compiled.

Why do the Islamic fundamentalists in general—and followers of al Qaeda in particular—resort to terrorist tactics
against Americans and other Westerners around the globe?
This question has haunted Americans since 9/11 and
prompted a host of antiterrorist policies throughout the
world. Much has been written and spoken on the subject,
and more will be written and spoken in the years ahead.
Political geography offers a frame of reference to learn
about al Qaeda and other militant Islamic groups and their
anti-West, anti–U.S. posture. To explore the point of view
propounded by Osama bin Laden and others, this case study
uses the ﬁve levels of analysis introduced in chapter three,
examined here from a geopolitical perspective. The ﬁve levels of analysis are the: 1) international system, 2) regional,
3) state, 4) substate (tribal groups), and 5) individual.
INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM LEVEL
From the international system perspective, consider the
following historical context of al Qaeda’s militant Islam.
Militant Islamic fundamentalists and followers of Islam are
heirs to one of the great civilizations of the world. While...

The Muslim Brotherhood (al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun) 1 was founded as an Islamic revivalist
movement in the Egyptian town of Isma’iliyaa in March 1928 by school teacher Hassan
al-Banna (1906-1949). 2
The Brotherhood’s goal has been to promote the implementation of Shari’ah (Islamic law
derived from the Quran and the Sunnah). 3 Early in its history, the Brotherhood focused
on education and charity. It soon became heavily involved in politics and remains a major
player on the Egyptian political scene, despite the fact that it is an illegal organization.
The movement has grown exponentially, from only 800 members in 1936, to over 2
million in 1948, to its current position as a pervasive international Sunni Islamist
movement, with covert and overt branches in over 70 countries.
“I did not want to enter into competition with the other orders,” al-Banna once said. “And
I did not want it to be confined to one group of Muslims or one aspect of Islamic reform;
rather I sought that it be a general message based on learning, education, and jihad.” 4
According to al-Banna, “It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to
impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.” 5 That helps
explain the Muslim Brotherhood’s motto: “Allah ghayatuna Al-rasul za'imuna. Al-Qur'an dusturuna. Al-jihad sabiluna. Al-mawt fi sabil Allah asma amanina. Allah akbar,
Allah akbar.” (“God is our goal, the Quran is our Constitution, the Prophet is our leader,
struggle [jihad] is our way, and death in the service of God is the loftiest of our wishes.
God is great. God is great.”) 6

Al-Qaeda remains the most notorious Islamic terrorist group in existence today.
In the years since it orchestrated the devastating September 11, 2001 attacks on
the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, its former leader, Osama bin Laden,
and its current chief, Ayman al-Zawahiri, have become internationally recognized figures and heroes to Islamists and aspiring jihadists the world over. Indeed,
al-Qaeda has taken on a truly global reach, boasting such an array of groups affiliated with it and others that are simply stirred by its ideology to the point that it is
often difficult to discern between the two.
